Alli Burke and Shelby Gibson stepped up for Gilman City as the Hawks won their 10th straight, 40-15 over North Nodaway. The game was not easy at first for the Hawks. Avery Gregg hit a 3-pointer to start the game, but the focus for the Mustangs was to shut off Khloey Sperry and Avery Gregg and make someone else beat them.
It was the Mustangs who were flying to the glass at first, getting an early 6-2 rebounding edge as Jackie Wray got a putback and Mya Hansen a free throw to knot it up at 3-3. It was 4-3 Gilman City until the 3:14 mark of the first, when all of a sudden, Avery Gregg threw a bullet pass to Sperry backdoor to get the Hawks untracked. Alli Burke scored off a steal to make it 8-3, and the teams traded free throws as the Hawks led 9-4 after one.
The Hawks spent the first quarter trying to figure out how to guard North Nodaway, but then, they hit on a tunnel 2-3 half court trap, switching into a man to man when North Nodaway was able to advance the ball. North Nodaway struggled for much of the night to figure out what defense the Hawks were in and was ice cold shooting at the west basket as Gilman City started to pull away. Khloey Sperry banked one high off the glass over Jackie Wray, Alli Burke got wide open back door as the Mustangs were trying to swarm Sperry, Khloey got loose inside off a pass from Colbi Webb, Alli Burke slashed and scored, and Khloey Sperry went coast to coast to make it 19-4 at the half.
Gilman City was limited offensively in the first half as Shelby Gibson was in foul trouble. Colbi Webb came off the bench and rebounded well for them, getting four boards. But Gibson was able to stay on the court in the second half, and with all the defensive attention focused on Sperry and Gregg, Gibson was wide open in the third quarter.
North Nodaway had been starting games off well, even against good teams, only to fade when the third quarter came around. They tried to reverse that trend as they no longer had to shoot at the west basket, which seemed to jinx both Mustang teams that night. Jackie Wray, Mya Hansen, and Lacy Riley all connected early for the Mustangs. But then Gibson kept getting open in the post, playing her best quarter of the year and scoring nine points in the period as the Hawks scored 11 straight to break it open at 37-10. Alli Burke added a steal and an inside shot as she had six for the period.
Jackie Wray had a putback at the buzzer for the Mustangs, but Khloey Sperry hit a free throw and Shelby Gibson got a putback to give Gilman City its biggest lead of the night at 40-12.
